Methods and annotations to specify interoperability with JavaScript APIs.
*This packages requires Dart SDK 1.13.0.*
*This is beta software. Please files [issues].*
### Adding the dependency
Add the following to your `pubspec.yaml`:
```yaml
dependencies:
js: ^0.6.0
```
### Example
See the [Chart.js Dart API](https://github.com/google/chartjs.dart/) for an
end-to-end example.
### Usage
#### Calling methods
```dart
// Calls invoke JavaScript `JSON.stringify(obj)`.
@JS("JSON.stringify")
external String stringify(obj);
```
#### Classes and Namespaces
```dart
@JS('google.maps')
library maps;
import "package:js/js.dart";
// Invokes the JavaScript getter `google.maps.map`.
external Map get map;
// `new Map` invokes JavaScript `new google.maps.Map(location)`
@JS()
class Map {
external Map(Location location);
external Location getLocation();
}
// `new Location(...)` invokes JavaScript `new google.maps.LatLng(...)`
//
// We recommend against using custom JavaScript names whenever
// possible. It is easier for users if the JavaScript names and Dart names
// are consistent.
@JS("LatLng")
class Location {
external Location(num lat, num lng);
}
```
#### JavaScript object literals
Many JavaScript APIs take an object literal as an argument. For example:
```js
// JavaScript
printOptions({responsive: true});
```
If you want to use `printOptions` from Dart, you cannot simply pass a Dart `Map`
object  they are "opaque" in JavaScript.
Instead, create a Dart class with both the `@JS()` and
`@anonymous` annotations.
```dart
// Dart
void main() {
printOptions(new Options(responsive: true));
}
@JS()
external printOptions(Options options);
@JS()
@anonymous
class Options {
external bool get responsive;
external factory Options({bool responsive});
}
```
NB: This _anonymous_ class must have an unnamed _factory constructor_.
#### Passing functions to JavaScript.
If you are passing a Dart function to a JavaScript API, you must wrap it using
`allowInterop` or `allowInteropCaptureThis`.
